"This is a new text/reference on advanced nonlinear controllers for mechanical systems that are based on a Lyapunov-type design and analysis methodology. The presentation illustrates, in a unified framework, how recent Lyapunov-based techniques can be used to solve a variety of nonlinear control problems for mechanical systems.". "This new book provides a thorough discussion and presentation of advanced, Lyapunov-based nonlinear controllers for mechanical systems. Researchers and professionals in the areas of systems, controls, and robotics will benefit from the new control design strategies, most of which are supported by experimental verification."--BOOK JACKET.
